# multisite with dynamic footer.php; same theme

 * I have few blogs running on a single multisite install, and want to use the same
   theme for all of them.
 * The catch: I want to vary the footer.php depending on what blog is being accessed.
 * i.e., if blog123 is accessed, one set of footer info/links is displayed, if blog
   234 is accessed, another set is displayed, etc…
 * I assume the syntax would be similar to the conditional tags needed for the meta
   robots in the header (like below)
 *     ```
       <?php if(is_single() || is_page() || is_home() || is_category()) { ?>
       <meta name="robots" content="index,follow,noodp" />
       <?php } else { ?>
       <meta name="robots" content="noindex,noarchive,follow,noodp" />
       <?php } ?>
       ```
   
 * but am unsure how to single out a single blog id or domain.
 * tks.

 * You used to be able to edit the footer under Appearance > Footer for each individual
   blog, this seems to have been removed – at least by default. I’ll let you know
   if I find a solution.

 * mcfd90, that depends on the theme, I think.
 * To the original question, I think you could use `$current_site` somehow.
 * Or better, use get_current_site()

 * Thanks ipstenu.
 * The Super Admin is still allowed to modify them for users otherwise I was going
   to make the footer a sidebar like in twentyten… I’ll try that.

 * I think I’d just widgetize the footer.

 * bdoreste I had been going to suggest using bloginfo(‘name’); but get_current_site()
   is much better (as names can be changed by the user).
 * Many thanks Andrea_r and ipstenu. So I’m not thread hijacking I’ve moved [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/424745).

 * mcfd90, thanks for the response!
 * I ended up using `get_bloginfo('url')` with a series of if statements, but will
   try implementing `get_current_site()` instead.
 * thanks again!

 * Get current site referrs to the *network* name, not the site. In the code sites
   are blogs, the network is a site.
 * get_current_site() will always return your main domain, unless you have multiple
   networks.
